# 1. Start a W&B run
wandb.init(project='gpt3')

# 2. Save model inputs and hyperparameters
config = wandb.config
config.learning_rate = 0.01

# Model training code here ...

# 3. Log metrics over time to visualize performance
for i in range (10):
    wandb.log({"loss": loss})

📈 Track model and data pipeline hyperparameters

Set wandb.config once at the beginning of your script to save your hyperparameters, input settings (like dataset name or model type), and any other independent variables for your experiments. This is useful for analyzing your experiments and reproducing your work in the future. Setting configs also allows you to visualize the relationships between features of your model architecture or data pipeline and the model performance (as seen in the screenshot above).

wandb.init()
wandb.config.epochs = 4
wandb.config.batch_size = 32
wandb.config.learning_rate = 0.001
wandb.config.architecture = "resnet"

🏗 Use your favorite framework

Use your favorite framework with W&B. W&B integrations make it fast and easy to set up experiment tracking and data versioning inside existing projects. For more information on how to integrate W&B with the framework of your choice, see the Integrations chapter in the W&B Developer Guide.

🔥 PyTorch

Call .watch and pass in your PyTorch model to automatically log gradients and store the network topology. Next, use .log to track other metrics. The following example demonstrates an example of how to do this:

import wandb

# 1. Start a new run
run = wandb.init(project="gpt4")

# 2. Save model inputs and hyperparameters
config = run.config
config.dropout = 0.01

# 3. Log gradients and model parameters
run.watch(model)
for batch_idx, (data, target) in enumerate(train_loader):
    ...
    if batch_idx % args.log_interval == 0:
        # 4. Log metrics to visualize performance
        run.log({"loss": loss})

🌊 TensorFlow/Keras

Use W&B Callbacks to automatically save metrics to W&B when you call `model.fit` during training.

The following code example demonstrates how your script might look like when you integrate W&B with Keras:

# This script needs these libraries to be installed:
#   tensorflow, numpy

import wandb
from wandb.keras import WandbMetricsLogger, WandbModelCheckpoint

import random
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf


# Start a run, tracking hyperparameters
run = wandb.init(
    # set the wandb project where this run will be logged
    project="my-awesome-project",
    # track hyperparameters and run metadata with wandb.config
    config={
        "layer_1": 512,
        "activation_1": "relu",
        "dropout": random.uniform(0.01, 0.80),

x_train, y_train = x_train[::5], y_train[::5]
x_test, y_test = x_test[::20], y_test[::20]
labels = [str(digit) for digit in range(np.max(y_train) + 1)]

# build a model

        tf.keras.layers.Dropout(config.dropout),
        tf.keras.layers.Dense(config.layer_2, activation=config.activation_2),
    ]
)

# compile the model

🧹 Optimize hyperparameters with Sweeps

Use Weights & Biases Sweeps to automate hyperparameter optimization and explore the space of possible models.

Try Sweeps in PyTorch in a Colab →

Try Sweeps in TensorFlow in a Colab →

Benefits of using W&B Sweeps

Quick to setup: With just a few lines of code you can run W&B sweeps.
Transparent: We cite all the algorithms we're using, and our code is open source.
Powerful: Our sweeps are completely customizable and configurable. You can launch a sweep across dozens of machines, and it's just as easy as starting a sweep on your laptop.

Get started in 5 mins →

Common use cases

Explore: Efficiently sample the space of hyperparameter combinations to discover promising regions and build an intuition about your model.
Optimize: Use sweeps to find a set of hyperparameters with optimal performance.
K-fold cross validation: Here's a brief code example of k-fold cross validation with W&B Sweeps.

Visualize Sweeps results

The hyperparameter importance plot surfaces which hyperparameters were the best predictors of, and highly correlated to desirable values for your metrics.

Parallel coordinates plots map hyperparameter values to model metrics. They're useful for honing in on combinations of hyperparameters that led to the best model performance.

📜 Share insights with Reports

Reports let you organize visualizations, describe your findings, and share updates with collaborators.

Common use cases

Notes: Add a graph with a quick note to yourself.
Collaboration: Share findings with your colleagues.
Work log: Track what you've tried and plan next steps.

Explore reports in The Gallery → | Read the Docs

Once you have experiments in W&B, you can visualize and document results in Reports with just a few clicks. Here's a quick demo video.

🏺 Version control datasets and models with Artifacts

Git and GitHub make code version control easy, but they're not optimized for tracking the other parts of the ML pipeline: datasets, models, and other large binary files.

W&B's Artifacts are. With just a few extra lines of code, you can start tracking you and your team's outputs, all directly linked to run.

Try Artifacts in a Colab with a video tutorial

Common use cases

Pipeline Management: Track and visualize the inputs and outputs of your runs as a graph
Don't Repeat Yourself™: Prevent the duplication of compute effort
Sharing Data in Teams: Collaborate on models and datasets without all the headaches

Learn about Artifacts here → | Read the Docs

Visualize and Query data with Tables

Group, sort, filter, generate calculated columns, and create charts from tabular data.

Spend more time deriving insights, and less time building charts manually.
